Jada talked about this on the "Today Show." She explained that by 2016, they both felt exhausted from trying to make things work how they imagined.

"We both had ideas of how we wanted each other to be, but it didn't always match reality," she said. So, they decided to live separately while staying committed to each other in a different way.

Even though they aren't living under the same roof, Jada made a promise to never split up. "We'll stick together no matter what comes our way. That's a promise I won't break," she said.

Their decision to live apart while still being married shows that couples can find their own path to happiness and make their relationship work in their own unique way.

Earlier this year, Will made headlines at the Oscars when he slapped comedian Chris Rock after a joke he made about Jada's condition, Alopecia. Jada herself thought it was part of the show at first. "It wasn't until Will walked back to his seat that I realized it was real," she shared.

Jada's upcoming book, "Worthy," is set to be released on October 17th. In it, she talks more about her life and thoughts, offering even deeper insights into her journey and how she views love and marriage.

So, while Jada and Will might not be sharing the same home right now, their story shows that love can evolve and thrive in unexpected ways. It's a reminder that every relationship is unique, and what works for one couple might not work for another. As they continue their journey together, their story continues to inspire and intrigue fans worldwide.
